Chapter 320 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold Ascetic Monk 24
In order to attract customers as soon as possible, she asked Uncle Zhou to buy some firecrackers and invited people to perform dragon and lion dances.
When the doors open tomorrow, people will naturally come to watch the fun as they listen to the sound of firecrackers and dragon and lion dances.
When there are more people watching the excitement, business will naturally improve.
The plaque is covered with a layer of red cloth, and red silk hangs from both sides. When the auspicious time comes tomorrow, the red silk is gently pulled, and the plaque hanging above the shop will be exposed.
Originally, a well-respected celebrity would be invited for the opening ribbon-cutting, but Yu Yao was a widow and knew no one in Lianhua County. Even if she wanted to invite someone, she didn't know who to invite.
Forget it, just cut the ribbon by yourself tomorrow.
"Uncle Zhou, have the arrangements been made for the dragon and lion dance team? Let them remember the time and don't delay the auspicious time."
Yu Yao looked worriedly at the busy people on the side Uncle Zhou ordered.
“Don’t worry, Madam, the old slaves have already made arrangements with them, and they all remember the time and said they will come early so as not to miss the auspicious time for the opening.”
Uncle Zhou was cleaning the shop with a broom. When he heard her words, he stopped and replied.
"That's good."
She nodded slightly and checked again to see if there was anything missing. Fortunately, everything was fine.
After Uncle Zhou finished cleaning the shop, the two closed the door and went back.
Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
The sun shines slantingly on the golden roof of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, coating this ancient temple with a faint golden glow.
In the Zen room, the smoke from the incense burner curled up, and the air was filled with a touch of sandalwood, but it could not conceal the ups and downs in Xuanji's heart.
Since that day when I learned the news about Mrs. Yu from Jueming and the birth dates of the two children written on the piece of paper in my hand, Xuanji's heart could no longer regain its former peace.
He wanted to erase this thought countless times, telling himself that it was just a coincidence.
But the child’s birth time, the mother’s same surname, and what happened under the moonlight that night in Zhoujiazhuang
"Amitabha, sin is sin."
Xuanji clasped his hands together and chanted softly, trying to use Buddhism to calm the turmoil in his heart.
However, as the beads in my hand turned, my thoughts and doubts became deeper and deeper.
In order not to leave any regrets, he decided to follow his inner guidance and go down the mountain to find out.
He changed out of his monk's robe and put on a plain green shirt, with a touch of worldly atmosphere, and a touch of nobility on his handsome face, and embarked on the journey to Lianhua County journey.
Lianhua County.
The sky is turning white, and busy figures can be vaguely seen on the streets.
Yu Yao wore an elegant long skirt, with a slight fluttering hem, as if carrying the scent of morning dew.
She stood at the door of the store that was about to open, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Madam, the auspicious time has come, the dragon and lion dances are waiting at the street corner."
Uncle Zhou ran over in a hurry, his face beaming with joy.
"Okay, then let's open the door to welcome guests."
Yu Yao nodded slightly, remembered something, and asked again: "Uncle Zhou, prepare more tea and snacks, we will be busy later I may not have time to say hello, so remember not to neglect the guests."
"Don't worry, madam, I've taken note of it."
Uncle Zhou responded hurriedly and went to open the door.
With a crisp "squeak" sound, the store door slowly opened.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning penetrated the mist and fell on the threshold covered with red silk. The golden light shone, making the entire store particularly festive.
After opening the door, Uncle Zhou quickly ran to the door and gestured to the dragon and lion dance team waiting at the corner.
“Dong Dong Qiang, Dong Dong Qiang...”
With a burst of lively gongs and drums, the dragon and lion dance teams poured into the street with their golden dragon bodies tumbling. Jumping, the lion shook his head and tail, majestic.
Instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.
The children followed the team excitedly, and the adults also stopped and looked curiously at this sudden lively scene.
At this time, Xuanji happened to arrive in Lianhua County and appeared on Chengdong Street.
He wanted to ask someone where Mrs. Yu lived, but suddenly there was a lively sound of gongs and drums in the distance.
He followed the sound and saw a team performing dragon and lion dances. He didn’t know what was going on, but it was so lively.
Then curiously, he followed the crowd and walked over.
“Look, it’s a newly opened clothing store!” someone in the crowd shouted.
"Huh? Isn't that the Widow Yu who moved to Lianhua County half a year ago? It seems that she gave birth to a pair of twins not long ago, and she was able to invite a dragon and lion dance?"
Someone Recognized Yu Yao.
This happened to be heard by Xuan Ji who was following the crowd. He couldn't help but frown and muttered: "Widow Yu? Moved to Lianhua County half a year ago? Just gave birth to a pair of twins?"
Originally I just wanted to see the excitement and leave, but now I want to find out.
He pushed aside the crowd, and what he saw was a newly opened ready-to-wear store - "Yaohuafang".
The plaque above is covered with red silk, obviously waiting to be taken off when the auspicious time comes.
Uncle Zhou didn’t know Xuanji, mainly because there were too many people and he didn’t notice.
Seeing that the people were flocking to watch the excitement, he was very happy. He immediately cleared his throat and said, "The auspicious time has come. Please ask Madam to pull down the red silk." As his voice fell, many people onlookers shouted echoed, clapping excitedly.
With the sound of suona, the sound is deafening and extremely lively.
Xuanji did not applaud, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of the store door, wanting to know who the widow Yu who had just given birth to twins was.
At this moment, a woman slowly walked out of the store, wearing an elegant long dress, her hair lightly rolled up into a bun, her face was extremely beautiful and charming, but she also had a bit of elegance.
That familiar face and indifferent eyes instantly hit Xuanji's heart - it was her, Yu Yao.
It was also the spider spirit who used her body to detoxify him on that moonlit night in Zhoujiazhuang.
Yu Yao looked at the lively people watching with a smile on her face, feeling very happy.
Just as she was about to pull off the red silk on the plaque, she glanced at the crowd from the corner of her eye and her smile froze.
A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then turned into a gentle smile.
She didn’t know why Xuanji suddenly went down the mountain, came to Lianhua County, and appeared in the crowd watching the excitement.
But at this time, it was not the time for the two of them to talk.
She nodded lightly towards Xuanji, holding one end of the red silk in her hand, and gently pulled it, revealing the carefully carved plaque - "Yaohua Fang".
The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, as if it indicates that countless beautiful clothes will be born here.
The sound of gongs and drums at the door, the sound of suonas, and the lively cheers made the whole scene enjoyable.
There was a complicated smile in Xuanji's eyes, and he stared at her so closely, radiant, bright and beautiful, so moving.
Unknowingly, the corners of his eyes were moistened quietly, and the waves in his heart were rising again, and it was difficult to calm down.
It turned out that after that night, she really had his child, gave birth to him alone, and came to live in Lianhua County.
She asked people to go up the mountain to pray for the two children. Did she also tell herself that she had given birth to his child?
Xuanji had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and her emotions were aroused and restrained. She wanted to go forward and talk to her, but she also knew that this was not the time.
Yu Yao took in Xuan Ji's complicated and unspeakable eyes, but she did not step forward to speak to him.
She withdrew her gaze, looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "Thank you all for your support, folks. Yaohuafang is officially open for business today. You are welcome to come in and choose. It's a great opening today, and all guests who come into the store will receive gifts."
< br>Uncle Zhou carried a red fruit basket that he had prepared early from the shop and kept throwing melon seeds, candies and money at the people watching the excitement.
"Okay, okay"
The effect of spreading melon seeds, candies and money is that the people keep applauding.
Xuanji seemed to be infected by the lively atmosphere. He suppressed all his thoughts and put a smile on his face. Instead of the indifference and coldness of the past, it added a bit of worldliness.
Whether out of joy or just to join in the fun, he reached out to snatch the melon seed candies that Uncle Zhou scattered to the crowd.
Yu Yao saw it and burst out laughing.
I never imagined that Xuanji, a Buddhist holy monk, would have such an interesting side.
Xuanji didn't grab the wedding money, he just grabbed some melon seeds and candies and played with them in his hands.
Seeing her smiling at him, he was slightly startled, and then he also smiled.
Smiles are like flowers blooming in spring, and everything is revived.
Amazement flashed in the eyes of the young woman next to her, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "What a handsome monk, but why is he a monk? What a pity"
Yu Yao glanced at the woman, Then he walked towards Xuanji with a smile and said, "Master Xuanji, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" .
"Almsgiver Yu, you are well. The poor monk came down the mountain this time actually for"
He hesitated to speak, not knowing how to start, and also felt it was inconvenient to speak here.
"Donor Yu, you are busy first. The poor monk will come to see you in the evening."
He bowed slightly, turned around and left.
"Master, please stay."
Yu Yao hurriedly called him, seeing him stop and turn to look at her in confusion.
She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master, if you don't mind, please go to the backyard and wait for a while. Can you go there after I finish my work?"
Xuanji looked at her and nodded slightly, "Of course you can."
The sound is like the tinkling of spring water, which is extremely pleasant.
"Uncle Zhou, please take me to the backyard room so that I can entertain you."
At this moment, the door was full of customers, and many people had already entered the shop and started to choose clothes. She really Unable to get away, he said to Zhou Bo on the side.
Uncle Zhou hurriedly came over, took a look at Xuanji, and knew that he was an acquaintance of Madam, and said politely: "Master, please come with me."
"Thank you."
Xuanji smiled slightly Nodding, clasping his hands together, he followed Uncle Zhou to the backyard room to wait.
The woman who was staring at Xuan Ji saw that he had gone to the backyard of the shop, and regret flashed in her eyes.
Then he also went into the shop to look at the clothes.
